Poem Commentary

Wrote this in about 20 minutes during lunch break from work with a particular friend in mind.

Mind's Eye

My mind has a strange way of dealing
With every single unpleasant feeling
A strike across the face
In this unpleasant place
Has not been discovered as appealing

Take a step to the darkness of my dreams
See lack of variation with the scenes
Under negligent care
Which I feel is not fair
As is noted by the horror in my screams

With the closing of the eyes time passes
A theory understood by the masses
With the flick of a light
You can see the whole fight
All you need is a pair of eye glasses

Thus despite this despair not all is in vain
Without such self-pity there’s nothing to gain
The steps are so clear
You must not disappear
Stay close to the light and it’s presence remains

Well thank you. I'm glad you liked it.

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
